Chapter 594: The Sensible Emperor (Part II)

()

The artifacts of the Wa Kingdom are the "Kusanagi Sword", "Eight-Foot Qiong Hook Jade" and "Eight Mirrors".

This thing represents the inheritance of the royal family of the Wa Kingdom, and its importance is similar to that of the jade seal of the Tang Dynasty.

Now that Emperor Kotoku has even offered this thing, it can be seen that he has really given up on the Wa Kingdom.

Gao Ming naturally liked such a result, so after returning to the East Palace, Gao Ming first went to Su Wan'er's room and hugged his baby girl, and then played with this miraculous artifact that was passed down in later generations in the study.

However, it is a pity that after careful observation by Gao Ming, this artifact of the Wa Kingdom, which has many legends in later generations, does not seem to be very rare.

The first is the Kusanagi sword, his form is not like the rumoredly sharp long knife, but like a short sword used during the Qin Dynasty, and the style is not much different from the kind of sword in the terracotta warriors and horses that Gao Ming once saw.

However, judging from the material, it should not be bronze, but like iron, and Gao Ming guessed that it should be meteoric iron.

The material of the Yaga mirror is the same as the Kusanagi sword, which is made of meteoric iron, and the style is also the style of the mirror during the Qin Dynasty, and even the pattern on the back of the mirror is similar to the mirror pattern in the Qin Dynasty.

As for the eight-foot Qionggou jade, it is a jade shape with a very strange shape, which gives Gao Ming the feeling that it is as if a ring-shaped jade pendant fell to the ground and broke half of it, and then polished it with the remaining half.

Looking at the "artifact" of the Wa Kingdom in front of him, Gao Ming suddenly had a strange idea.

"This so-called "artifact" shouldn't be something from the Qin Dynasty? ”

After this idea appeared in Gao Ming's mind, it was suddenly out of control, and Gao Ming suddenly remembered the legend of Xu Fu again.

It is said that Xu Fu followed the will of Qin Shi Huang and took a thousand boys and girls to the sea to find the elixir of immortality, but unfortunately he did not find it, and he was afraid that Qin Shi Huang would blame him, so he set himself up as king on an island, and this island was later the Wa Kingdom.

For this legend, Gao Ming has always regarded it as a legend in the past, and he has not taken it seriously, but now looking at the "artifact" in front of him, Gao Ming suddenly has an intuition.

Maybe the legend is true!

Because if the legend is not true, why does this "artifact" that represents the inheritance of the royal family of the Wa Kingdom look like something from the Qin Dynasty?

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately smiled and shook his head.

"Forget it, anyway, the Wa Kingdom has completely fallen into me now, and it doesn't matter what the truth is, anyway, from now on, there will be no Wa Kingdom, and the word Emperor will never appear again."

In fact, many people don't know that the word emperor was not originally used to address the monarch of the Wa Kingdom, but to address Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

According to historical records, during the reign of Emperor Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong, the Tang Dynasty had friction with the Wa Kingdom at the mouth of the Baekgang River in Baekje, and the first naval battle took place, which is also the famous Battle of the Baekgang Estuary.

At that time, the general who presided over this battle of the Tang Dynasty was Liu Renliang, who led more than 10,000 Tang troops and more than 100 warships to defeat the proud navy of the Japanese state, burned more than 1,000 warships of the other side, and tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers were killed or drowned.

After this war, the Wa Kingdom understood who was the real master, so he honored Li Zhi as the "Emperor", honored Wu Mei as the "Queen of Heaven", and even after Li Zhi died, the nickname was the Emperor.

The earliest written record of the name of the monarch in the Wa Kingdom is the Asuka Jogohara Decree enacted by Emperor Tenmu from around 6 to 688.

The Battle of Baijiangkou took place in 66, about ten years apart, which also corroborates this historical fact.

In other words, now that Gao Ming has taken the Wa Kingdom, it is naturally impossible for the Battle of Baijiangkou to occur again in 20 years, and since there is no Battle of Baijiangkou, the name "Emperor" will naturally not appear.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming laughed again.

"Hehe, since the Wa Kingdom is gone, and the Emperor is gone, it's useless to keep this so-called artifact, it's better to just dispose of them all!"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells outside the door.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee...... Big brother, I'm back! ”

Hearing this voice, Gao Ming suddenly looked up, and immediately saw an emerald green figure running in from outside the door, and then plunged into his arms.

"Big brother, I miss you so much, do you miss your son?"

At this time, it was none other than Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang.

Behind her, a yellow and white runner followed.

After this guy came in, he arched his big head into Gao Ming's arms, looking like he was coquettish to Gao Ming, which immediately made Li Mingda "giggle".

"Giggle...... Big brother, Benben is also asking if you want it, hehe! ”

Looking at this scene, Gao Ming couldn't help but smile and nodded.

"Haha, of course the eldest brother misses you, I haven't seen you for the past few days, where are you going to play with Benben?"

As he spoke, Gao Ming reached out and touched Li Mingda's little head, and then rubbed a few handfuls on Benben's fluffy head.

Feeling the warmth on his head, Li Mingda's eyes narrowed with a smile, just like a kitten.

"My son went to my uncle's house and played with Erdan, hehe!"

The second egg that Li Mingda said is the son born to Li Lizhi before, and now he is almost half a year old, and he looks like a tiger and is very cute.

At the beginning, Gao Ming said that he called this child Erdan, it was just a joke, but he didn't want the eldest grandson Wuji to directly settle the matter, and no one was allowed to change it, which caused some turmoil in the circle at that time.

Of course, Gao Ming knew that the eldest grandson Wuji's move was to show favor to himself, and at the same time, he also hoped that he would protect this child.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming laughed again.

"Speaking of which, I haven't given Erdan any decent gifts, it just so happens that I have a piece of ancient jade from the Qin Dynasty here, which is just right for children to play with, you can help me take it to him next time!"

As he spoke, Gao Ming picked up the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade on the desk and put it in Li Mingda's.

The look of indifference, as if it was not given some "Japanese artifact", but an ordinary small stone.

And after Li Mingda got the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade, he put it in his pocket without even looking at it, and then nodded towards Gao Ming with a smile.

"Well, big brother, the son-in-law knows, the son-in-law will go to the sister-in-law first, run, go!"

"Whew......"

Seeing Li Mingda jumping out with a rush, Gao Ming suddenly shook his head with a smile, and then called in the sword standing at the door.

"Shi Jian, you help me send this sword and this mirror on the table to the Ministry of Military Industry and give them to Liu Tao, and let him use these two things to help me fight a Tang knife, go quickly!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the sword hurriedly agreed, and then took the draft sword and the eight mirrors and went out.

Looking at her back as she left, the corners of Gao Ming's mouth curled up again.

"Goodbye, Wakoku."
